self-righteous no more

i was following a thread on one of the e-groups i'm a member of about past blog posts professing admiration for a certain person, and the regret now of said posts as the person in question has fallen off of a very high pedestal, and may i say,

i am particularly proud that i NEVER EVER wrote anything particularly complimentary about THAT person.

there was always something not legit about the person.

i guess it has something to do with how, after voicing hate for all things evil and corrupt and all that, the lack of walking the talk was obvious even then.

what with the not really doing the job which ACTUALLY NEEDED DOING, which has in our late years come back to bite US in our collective asses, with the allowing of a certain oversexed stupid ass arrogant fuckfaced jerkoff faggot pretty boy to get away with what amounts to murder in the eyes of those of us who have had to content ourselves with delayed futures, with the bending of all sorts of rules for some people, and all of the assorted little similarly hypocritical things which i have had the dubious privilege of witnessing in the span of a few short years.

and the people THAT person hated(s) are people i have grown to admire, for always managing to advance their causes without proclaiming for all to hear that they are honorable even if they are not. (i guess, in this case, the bitch who shows up is better than the saint who doesn't).

sweeping rhetoric has once again melted into nothingness in the face of actual reactions in real situations.

all that remains now of the righteousness is the regrettable blog posts.

well... i've made a few choice posts in the past about people i now regret even knowing. and i think about erasing them, yes, but as i meant what i wrote when i wrote it, i keep them still, in the hopes that said posts will serve as a reminder of my impetuous youth, and in the hopes that next time i won't be such a dumbass.
